Sonic Arts Network and BBC Radio 3 present Cut and Splice

This year¹s Cut and Splice festival presents Dots and Lines, a cluster of
events that explore the idea of notation and the relationship between score,
image, text and sound in electronic music and sound art.
 
Focusing on the gap between ideas and experience, between abstract concepts
and their relation to the tangible, Dots and Lines considers the analytical,
performative and documentary nature of music as written document and code.
It throws into relief our very concept of what constitutes the musical
experience and considers the complex dialogue between time based and static
art forms.
